I?m preparing to launch a new general discussion forum (running vB 3.7.1) and am looking for the best photo gallery program for my particular site. Love what I?m reading on Photopost and seeing checking out numerous demos. Looks like the industry standard. I like that.

For my own comfort level, I?d like to try the install myself, both as part of my learning curve (first time webmaster) and getting familiar with how things are configured on the server from day one. To that end I?d appreciate any feedback on a couple questions if I may:

1) I?m using 2 templates, with a number of style coding differences between them. Is that going to complicate my install much, or will the instructions work regardless of minor code variances?

2) If I royally screw it up, will you come to my rescue and promise not to laugh?

I ordered my license and installation request Saturday night around 8 pm. Within 24 hours, it was not only installed & integrated, but Chuck had responded to an email Sunday evening and been back to my site to provide additional support. Bottom line, it took 1 day--a Sunday no less--from start to finish.

In my experience, that kind of response/support is highly unusual, especially so insofar as custom installation of a product like this. I'm generally a pretty impatient customer; I like to get what I order promptly and get timely answers to the specific questions that inevitably arise when you apply a new application to a customized site. I'm also a relative novice at webmastering, and have found few support types with the patience/ability to clearly explain matters in a way less-technically savvy people can understand.

A slight misunderstanding here. Your license is good forever. You can run just like vbulletin or many other popular software programs the version you bought or the version you had until download access expired forever on your site thats not a problem. Now with a license you get a full year of support and download access to download code updates. Now if your year is up all you need to do is purchase a members area renewal for $39.00. This is pretty standard for any commercial software application sold. It is your choice whether to renew or not.
